    This document summarizes an seminar report on automatic air suspension systems. It discusses the role of air suspension systems in supporting vehicle weight and providing a smoother ride. The key components of an air suspension system are the air supply, air bags, and height control valves. It works by using air bags made of rubber and plastic to support the vehicle's load at the front and rear wheels. The suspension can be independent or non-independent, and automatic air suspension provides advantages like automatic level control and increased vehicle and passenger comfort.

    A SEMINAR REPORT

    Submitted by

    MANGESH M. MASNE

    Guided by
    PROF. S. R. NIRMAL
    DEPARTMENT OF MECH ENGG , SSGMCE , SHEGAON
    OUTLINE
    Introduction
    Role of Air Suspension System
    Principle Of Air Suspension
    Components of Air Suspension
    Types Of Suspension
    Advantages
    Conclusion
    INTRODUCTION
    ‘The automatic air suspension system is an air-operated,
    microprocessor controlled suspension system. This system
    replaces the conventional coil spring suspension and
    provides automatic front and rear load leveling. The air
    bags, made of rubber and plastic, support the vehicle load
    at the front and rear wheels’.

    Sir William Brush is the father of suspension system in


    automobiles.
    ROLE OF AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
    The main role of air suspension system are as follows:
     It supports the weight of vehicle .
     Provides smoother ride for the driver and passengers i.e. acts as

    cushion.
     Protects your vehicle from damage and wear .
     It also plays a critical role in maintaining self driving conditions.
     It also keeps the wheels pressed firmly to the ground for traction .
     It isolates the body from road shocks and vibrations which would

    otherwise be transferred to the passengers and load.


    PRINCIPLE OF AIR SUSPENSION
    Principle :-When a tire hits an obstruction, there is a
    reaction force. The size of this reaction force depends on the
    unsprung mass at each wheel assembly.

    In general, the larger the ratio of sprung weight to


    unsprung weight, the less the body and vehicle occupants
    are affected by bumps, dips, and other surface imperfections
    such as small bridges. A large sprung weight to unsprung
    weight ratio can also impact vehicle control.
    DEFINITIONS OF SPRUNG & UNSPRUNG
    MASS
    Sprung mass :-Sprung mass (weight) refers to vehicle
    parts supported on the suspension system, such as the
    body, frame, engine, the internal
    components, passengers, and cargo.
    Unsprung mass :- Unsprung mass
    refers to the components that follow
    the road contours, such as wheels, tires,brake assemblies,
    and any part of the steering and suspension not supported by
    the springs.
    COMPONENTS OF AIR SUSPENSION
    There are three fundamental components of air
    suspension system .
     The air supply

    Air bags

    Height control valves

    ADVANTAGES
    Excellent Suspension & Comfort to passengers
    Fully Automatic Level Control
    Good handling
    Shields the vehicle from damage
    Keeps the tires pressed firmly to ground
    Easy To Service
    Lifting & Lowering Function
    Increases life of vehicle
    CONCLUSION
    From the whole discussion in suspension system, I observe that
    suspension system is like a white blood cell .As white blood cell
    provides energy to our body to fight against diseases or viruses which
    try to destroy or try to decrease our life ,in the similar way suspension
    system provides the energy to a vehicle to protect itself from
    damaging, increasing life of the vehicle ,increases the
    handing,increases comfort of passengers and many more.
    So, according to me if you remove the suspension system, then you
    feel like in bull- cart in Audi , Mercedes types luxurious cars. The only
    difference is speed.
    So, the scope of Suspension System is Too Bright.
